Can't go wrong with a song imploring folks to get off the heron. Even better if it's fonky, the drummer is flashing, and the bass is extra syncopated. Add some funky guitar, a dash of horns and piano chords jumping back and forth in the stereo field. I might be high off this joint 😅.

A smoke filled 70s lounge cover of one of my favorite joints, dadgummiteta. Makes me wanna dance with the back of my hands on my hips. Smooth horns, sassy vocals, funky wah guitar, some disco strings, understated bass, all make for a succulent groove.

This irreverent song is good for a few chuckles. Vocals are very clear which makes the amusing lyrics easy to understand. And this song is all about the lyrics. Definitely worth a listen.

This is a delightful little jaunty tune, mixing ukulele(?) and synths. Something I'd use as background music for a children's show. Can't believe it has a "club mix" though... what club is playing this, even in 1985? 😆

Come for the precision in the brass section. Stay for the ridiculous range of the vocalist. And don't sleep on the hand percussion, it's not the focal point, but it's dope.

Folks that are not from the bay prolly won't recognize this flow as being quintessentially early 90s bay shit. Got me bumping my shoulders with the presumably Roger/Zapp sample. Back when hip hop tracks had to have that DJ scratch in them.

This is the type of joint I should play while I'm grocery shopping. A little bit droney, a little bit repetitive, but with a cool as flute solo (panned left) and groovy guitar solo (panned right). Would make me feel super confident in my food purchases 😂

This sparse, eerie, drum machine backed Czech track from the 80s is pretty interesting. The trumpet interjections took me by surprise. The video is somehow mesmerizing also.
